I made some 6 wide trailers way back when I was first playing with train LEGO. But since then I have been mostly 4 wide. Not because it's right. It isn't. IRL trailers and boxcars are almost exactly the same width, (10' 6" I think) and 6 wide (...) (25 years ago, 13-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)

(...) Yea, with a wide enough area, one could use the 2x2/2x2 brackets. It would need a depth of 4 for each side though (meaning a container at least 8 wide).
